It'll be fine. We'll have some info real soon on skills and runes, a new patch, and we'll be cookin' on the road to Releaseville.
Can't we just enjoy eachothers company?
We've only ever said "early 2012". And we just decided we'd need until Q2 this week. Seems like the conference call was as good a place as any to announce that.
Mid June, and not a moment before. Blizzard is not capable of releasing on the early side of a given window. Its never happen with a single release they have ever had. Guaranteed its a June release date unless there are any new delays that come up, which isn't entirely unlikely.

I dont think june. They had to be close enough, to where only this week they had to push it back... they are close.

I respectfully disagree with you sir! But i hope you're right.
Blizzard said beta was starting soon, eventually said Q3, then it came out what, the very last week of Q3 last year? Then they said Early 2012 release date, and people all assumed Q1 was a possability. I've been saying June/July is the most likely time frame for "early" by blizzard's definition since it was announced. I'm standing by that now. Its a repetitive pattern with Blizzard, I would love for them just once to say Q2, and mean April, but its just not going to happen if history has taught us anything. I refuse to get my hopes up when i know its pointless. I will get my hopes up for a great game though, I also know that the game will most definitely be worth the wait!
Bash I think people are upset because they were told Q1, and you knew for a while it wouldn't be Q1. If people had to find out through the conference call that's pretty shady.
We've only ever said "early 2012". And we just decided we'd need until Q2 this week. Seems like the conference call was as good a place as any to announce that.
You see, Blizz consider Q2 to be "early" by definition as well, why else state that they decided this week that they'll need until Q2? Is it just a paraphrased clause for "delay"? I don't think so, people will read into this as a delay and will rage, but it's not a delay, it's still early...well the first couple of months of Q2 at least.

huh... they had it planned for Q1 (we only new early 2012)..they cant make that (aka why they said they now need Q2, if they now need q2, that means before, it was q1 ) thats an internal delay.
The key here, is they just decided that THIS WEEK, that means they were thinking they could still make it before Q2... that tells me they are close
I get what your saying as well, that it still matches what they said (all they ever told us was early 2012, which it still is early 12, thus people should not get upset, and I agree 110%) but thats not the point of this
Molsters logic is sound for the most part. Also, did you pick that name just to that people posting from phones would call you molester? Because it just about worked on me.
With the original plan being Dec of last year, the recent removal of a few things and more polishing. Early in Q2 seems likely. I am happy to hear theres a quarter target . Most people seem to be acting like they said it will be june 30th. We may very well hear a release date in a month or 2 . Not to sound like I know something I don't but a release date in a box of chocolates from blizz would be a nice gift on valentines day.

If early in Q2 would be likely, Blizz would have said "release in Q2", thats what investors wanted to hear, instead we got - "targeting", therefore they arent even sure about launch in June, let alone April.
"We may very well hear a release date in a month or 2", correct, then add another 2 months of usual timeframe: announcement-release.
If they had an actual 100% solid release date they would TELL us. Since there is a SLIGHT chance they will miss it, it's much better for PR to say targeting. The fact that they even mentioned Q2 is huge, they don't want to disappoint again. But since they are giving us something we can narrow down specifically (since early 2012 is pretty vague ) it's looking up =) I've said a couple times already, Q2 starts in 1.5 months. They *could* give us a release date in tomorrow in fact (more likely in just a couple weeks) and with a 2 month frame will hit inside Q2. Of course this is being optimistic but it's still plausible.
EDIT: Also.. "We've only ever said "early 2012". And we just decided we'd need until Q2 this week. Seems like the conference call was as good a place as any to announce that." They confirmed that they were aiming "early" to be Q1 and not Q2 so that confirms that. I don't know why people think that Q2 is still early... lol. It's not.

Yes. April is still early.
I'll tell you what: I disagree, but if it comes out in April, I'll shut up. Anything after that, and you have to be mad with me. Deal?

keep in mind, they want around a 2 month warning.
